Ask anyone who’s been to the ADHD Conference before and this is the first thing they talk about. More fun is had by more people than is legal in most states! Oh, sure, ask people and they’ll say, "Sure, I learned a lot, met wonderful people… I have friends today I met at a conference 10 years ago!” but then they’ll always come back to, "But the ADDA Talent Show! What a riot!”

If you haven’t registered for the ADDA Conference yet, do that first here.

Rules

Performances

We do our best to ensure everyone who wants to do so has the opportunity to perform, however the length of each performance will be determined by the number of participants.As a rule of thumb, you should plan for one or two songs or routines, between 5-7 minutes in length with a 10 minute maximum length. Note: The coordinator has final say as to length of stage-time available and the order of appearance.

Accompaniment

Anyone who would like piano accompaniment, please mention that in the form and I’ll contact you to arrange for you to scan and send us the sheet music (if it is a well-known song, I may already know it.) You’ll need to know what key you sing it in, but if necessary, we can even practice over the phone and figure which key you sing in.Remember, I want you to be successful!

Getting Together

To clear up any last minute details, we can meet at the hotel as soon as you arrive.I’ll be at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center from the afternoon of Thursday, July 18, 2013 until the end of the Talent show at approximately 11 pm. Friday, July 19, 2013.
